so most education colleges admit that almost anyone who is interested in studying education, and we end up educating twice as many teachers as we need as a result. >> why don't we care about it? we talk about it, we care about it, there are a lot of opinions about education reform. but you say something in the book that's so interesting that wealth has replaced -- we don't need rig or in education because we have wealth. we've always been a wealthy country. and that's starting to change, and the patterns of wealth are starting to change, and it makes education that much more important. >> historically, we haven't been able to produce millions of students who can think critically in math, reading and science. we didn't need to do that. but now we're getting to a place where those skills are becoming more valuable than gold, and we really do know now that those international test scores you cited, there is nearly a 1 to 1 match between long term gdp growth and increases in those scores. >> really interesting book, "the smartest kids in the world." amanda ripley is the author. it's so nice
